surprised you aren’t relying on more pseudo-scientific ‘alpha’ and ‘beta’ nonsense.
i don’t think musk is highly intelligent. i haven’t seen any evidence of it. the code he wrote for his early tech ventures was totally torn down and rewritten as soon as they tried to upscale the business to anything resembling a going professional concern. and there’s little evidence of him having hands-on problem-solving experience in any of his afterlife as a hijacker of corporate boards.
what’s he done that signals his superior intellect? proposed building 1-lane tunnels under LA to fix traffic? genius.
why do you think a grad school dropout and business owner is an expert on human population?
why are his own staff, intelligent and reasonable engineers all, writing letters of concern about his conduct and nonsense statements? aren’t they better equipped to judge his faculties than the mythical ‘average person’?
and isn’t it funny that you continually attribute the ‘humanity changing’ successes of spacex to elon musk and not, say, gwynne shotwell, the woman who actually runs the operation? very funny that.
do you have any idea how much musk’s people spend on PR and spin to keep him in the news cycle and to promote him as a ‘noteworthy’ figure to your beloved ‘average man’? wanting to come across as a guru or visionary is part of the musk/bezos/zuckerberg playbook.
